Irish hosted webinar: Testing for the cloud

As a member of the working committee for Softtest.ie, we have been investigating different ways to communicate with our software testing community.  One suggestion was to hold some webinars.I’ve been availing of my contacts in the online networking community to source some testers willing to discuss their experiences in this format.
I’m delighted to let you know that Joel Montvelisky has agreed to talk about his experiences of testing on the cloud.

The talk will be held on Wednesday, April 21, 2010 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM BST

Testing a SaaS (Software as a Service) Platform on an Agile World

SaaS (Software as a Service) products and applications are  becoming more common in today’s development Industry, especially as  Cloud Computing becomes a household name pushed forward by software  players such as Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc.

In  contrast to regular Web-Based systems, SaaS applications require a  different approach to testing than what we are used to from other more  traditional projects. In some cases testing a SaaS system is simpler  than testing a regular Web-based platforms, but in many others it is a  lot more challenging and demanding. It’s made even more interesting by  the fact that many of the teams developing SaaS Applications are based  Agile Development Methodologies.

In this webinar, Joel  Montvelisky will provide an overview of the main areas to cover when  testing a SaaS Application or Platform based on his own experience at  PractiTest (a SaaS QA Management Platform developed by his company). He  will give some insights into the type of approaches and ideas that work  best, and will also talk about some of the tools and methodologies his  team currently uses while testing PractiTest.

The  seminar is aimed at Test Engineers, Test Leaders, QA Managers, Project  Managers, Developers and Development Managers.
